Choosing your tree

Which tree is right for your home?

We have several varieties of choose-and-cut Christmas trees available at Greenway Farms in Howard County. Please scroll down the page to read about the trees.

Then again, the right Christmas tree doesn’t always have much to do with whether it’s a white pine or a blue spruce. You’ll simply know the perfect tree when you see it!

Portable saws to get the job done!

White pine (currently not available … wish they grew faster!)

White pine trees have soft, longish needles that are blue-green in color with a white stripe that resembles snow or frost. If you don’t care for prickly needles, this tree is perfect. We enjoy white pines decorated with white lights and a few ornaments … their snowy glow absolutely fills a room and they have a wonderful natural pine scent.

Blue spruce is a slow-growing, majestic Christmas tree that has been very popular at Greenway Farms over the years. The bluish-gray needles can be poky and are about one inch in length.

Colorado blue spruce, usually just called “blue spruce.”

Norway spruce (6-13 feet tall in our fields)

Norway spruce is very similar to blue spruce but tends to have more of a traditional Christmas tree green color. These trees have a nice conical shape. Every Christmas, the capital city of Norway (Oslo) sends Christmas trees to sister cities around the world as a goodwill gesture.
